Recently, the world's first 50G-PON (passive optical network) based on the "10 Gigabit cloud broadband demonstration community", the country's first based on 5G-A 3CC technology and 50G-PON technology "double 10 Gigabit demonstration community" landing; Previously, Beijing planned to take the lead in carrying out a series of F5G-A 10 Gigabit optical network innovative technology pilot applications on the basis of further consolidating the gigabit infrastructure foundation in three years, and create a cutting-edge demonstration and leading "all-optical 10 Gigabit" Model city.

As the backbone of the "10 Gigabit Era", China Telecom has been deeply exploring 10 Gigabit networks to serve the society and help transform digital life.

The "10 Gigabit Era" is at the right time

Many veteran netizens have witnessed the continuous acceleration of broadband in the mainland in the past 20 years, such as 56K MODEM, ISDN, ADSL, VDSL, and fiber-to-the-home...... Once upon a time, I thought that the gigabit network was the limit, but I never thought that now we have entered the era of 10 gigabit broadband. Downloading a 2-hour-long 8K movie with a file size of about 90GB takes about 12 minutes to download with Gigabit broadband and 72 seconds to download with Gigabit Cloud Broadband.

Mao Qian, consultant of the Communication Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, director of the Asia-Pacific Optical Communication Committee, and co-chairman of the China Optical Webinar Network, pointed out last year that with the continuous improvement of living standards and the trend towards intelligence, users have higher requirements for service quality, and will still have long-term and continuous expectations for the improvement of network speed, so it is still necessary to continuously improve the access rate. "On the basis of realizing gigabit access, 10,000 gigabit households will inevitably be proposed one after another. ”

"The 10 Gigabit optical network opens up a new imagination space. Su Shaolin, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Beijing Municipal Communications Administration, said. In response to the needs of 10 Gigabit cities, operators continue to increase investment, accelerate network construction, and promote the integration and innovation of 10 Gigabit optical networks with key industries such as government affairs, finance, healthcare, education, and manufacturing.

The 10 Gigabit optical network communities that have been gradually entered into the households are not only a technological leap, but also a huge improvement in the quality of life of residents. Nowadays, the Internet has become the lifeblood of modern life, and high-speed and stable network connection is the infrastructure in the era of digital economy. More importantly, the application innovation measures based on 10 Gigabit optical networks are of positive significance for promoting industrial upgrading and driving sustained economic growth. In particular, the construction of smart cities needs a practical model of the community, exploring and solving problems in smart life through practical application, and finally realizing the harmonious integration of life and technology.

10 Gigabit applications continue to be enriched

In the all-optical 10 Gigabit era, many experiences that used to feel like sci-fi can become reality. For example, individual users can experience digital services such as glasses-free 3D display, free-view movie viewing, live streaming, and cloud gaming at home, while from the perspective of enterprises, Wi-Fi may be possible through 50G PON 7. From the perspective of social governance, all-optical 10 Gigabit can also enhance urban digital infrastructure, give full play to the comprehensive carrying capacity, provide highly reliable private network services, and support the construction of urban smart integrated poles.

From the perspective of the top-level design of 10 Gigabit applications, China Telecom Shanghai released the "50G PON All-Optical 10 Gigabit Development White Paper" at the 517 World Telecom Day event last year, which is a key symbol of the first to start the development of the next generation of all-optical 10 Gigabit networks and services.

In terms of 10 Gigabit optical network to help the application of computing power, at the beginning of this year, China Telecom actively played the "head goose effect", and the "double 10 Gigabit access and one-hop computing service" was officially opened in the "mode speed space" in Xuhui District, Shanghai.

In terms of 10 Gigabit optical network collaborative 5G-A applications, a few days ago, with the comprehensive empowerment and application of 5G-A technology in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China Telecom Zhejiang and ZTE jointly created the "Hangzhou 5G-A Smart Asian Games City" has entered the GSMA Global Mobile Awards - Best Mobile City Innovation Shortlist. China Telecom Zhejiang adheres to the concept of innovative development, takes the Hangzhou Asian Games as an opportunity to extend outward, actively explores the large-scale application of 5G-A, leads the development of 5G-A all-scenario intelligence with 1,000-station 100 Gigabit continuous network, and builds 5G-A Hangzhou Smart City with fruitful innovation achievements.

The 10 Gigabit optical network has entered the homes of ordinary people

Now, the all-optical 10 Gigabit era is coming into our lives.

A few months ago, in Midong District, Urumqi, Xinjiang, the unveiling ceremony of China Telecom's "10 Gigabit Community" was held in Borui New Village Community, East Road Street, which became the first "10 Gigabit Community" of China Telecom in Midong District. Ma Xiaoming, a resident, said: "Electronic products are indispensable in daily life, including smart homes, audio-visual and audio-visual, online games and remote work. The 10 Gigabit network of China Telecom has brought a better user experience to my smart home appliance management, online gaming, and cloud computer office. Shen Qian, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Midong District Development and Reform Commission, also said that the launch of 10 Gigabit network services means that residents can experience a more high-quality, stable and secure network, and also provides a better platform for the improvement of new technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

Last month, in Yangpu District, Shanghai, China Telecom helped build the world's first 50G-PON (passive optical network)-based "10 Gigabit Cloud Broadband Demonstration Community" based on F5G-A (Enhanced All-Optical Network), which was launched in Poly Tianhui Community in Yangpu District. According to a relevant person from Shanghai Telecom, "the 10 Gigabit cell only needs to upgrade the network-side equipment at one time, and does not need to change the deployed optical fiber, and this process does not affect the normal network use of users." After the network upgrade is complete, users who apply for 10 Gigabit services can update their terminals as needed. ”

Recently, with the help of China Telecom, the Evergreen Garden Community in Wuhan, Hubei Province ushered in a breakthrough that leads the technology trend - the country's first "Double 10 Gigabit Demonstration Community" based on 5G-A 3CC technology and 50G-PON technology. This milestone achievement not only represents the significant progress of 5G-A networks in terms of scale and scenario commercialization, but also symbolizes that the courageous exploration of fixed communication networks into the 10 Gigabit era has achieved remarkable results. Wuhan Evergreen Garden Community has 13 communities with a permanent population of 70,000 people, and China Telecom has launched a wide range of technology and scenario innovations in this high-density residential area by adopting new technologies and new features. In particular, the wide deployment of 3CC technology in the Evergreen Garden community has significantly improved the network coverage and user experience, providing a solid network foundation for the development of smart cities and intelligent transportation.
